    We are so excited to have John Craigie join us this week on No Simple Road as part of our lead-up to Cascade Equinox Festival! John Craigie takes center stage in an unforgettable episode where he shares his musical journey and the intricacies of the Portland music scene. From his serendipitous move to Portland and his unexpected connections with Frasco and TK and the Holy Know Nothings, to the creative magic behind his latest album, John's stories are as entertaining as they are insightful. We explore his unique blend of humor and music, revealing how his early aspirations of comedy continue to influence his art today. The episode also explores the evolution of the music industry, from the days when independent artists lacked digital tools to the current era of streaming services like Pandora and Spotify. John discusses the democratization of music discovery and the impact of social media on promoting music. We also delve into John's experiences navigating major stage performances and his serendipitous connection with Jack Johnson, which led to unforgettable performances at iconic venues such as The Gorge. Additionally, the episode touches on the supportive and non-competitive nature of Portland's music community and the magic of collaborations within the scene. -For THE BEST MUSHROOM CHOCOLATES EVER go over to @MELTMUSHROOMS ON INSTAGRAM and shoot them a DM for a menu of all the amazing flavors of MUSHROOM CHOCOLATE BARS and MAKE SURE TO TELL THEM NSR SENT YOU FOR $20 OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER!
